so, i was just playin with my phone. As usual. And then today, out of the blue, the phone restarts. At first i thought it was a hard reset, but then i cant even click next in the startup thing.
So i go into cwm, factory reset and fix permissions. Nothing else. And i get past the setup. And i go to download all the apps i lost, but after downloading it, i attempt to run it, but it force closes. I also try to fix permissions again, but it still force closes.
Currently running we are legends kh2 audiophile. Kh2 modem and dr honks kg4 bali kernel.
If there is anything i can do so that i dont have to start from scratch? if there is, tell me and id appreciate it. If not, i guess ill just have to start over. Thanks once again.

That's very strange. First time I've heard of that, so far. I think your best bet would be to do a full wipe though. Maybe backup your apps through Titanium as well.
On a more random note, please make the titles more specific as to the problem you're having. There's been a good number of threads from you with very vague titles. Most people tend to ignore threads like that.
Alright thankssss. I didnt know really what to name this.

Bkoon is right. I almost past this one.
Sounds like something corrupted on the phone. A reflash would probably solve it.

my phone freezes up multiple times a day and i have to take out the battery in order to get it to work. Does anyone else have this problem?
What are you running
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have not experienced that. A bit of information might help others to possibly help you, though. Can you tell us what ROM you're using, if the problem started recently, if it started after you installed a certain app, if you're over clocking or under clocking, and if you've tried to do a factory data reset?
Im running stock. The last time i tried to install a rom i ended up with the picture in the attachment. So i took it to the local T-Mobile kiosk and they replaced it for me. i re-rooted it but didnt rom it at all. And its been like this since i got the replacement phone. never had the problem before. (this was a week ago)
Pretty picture. Kidding, of course. Reminds me of messing with interlaced graphics on my old Amiga.
If it's been doing it since you got it chances are it's probably a hardware issue. I've not heard of rooting causing issues like that. Did you install any apps after you got it, specifically anything that runs/syncs in the background?
Nothing i didnt have on before. umm.. Go SMS and Launcher, Widget Locker...
I'd go the factory data reset route & not install any apps for a day or so and see how it runs. If all is OK, start reinstalling your apps 1 x 1, give each app a day to see if the problem starts up.
If you do a factory data reset and it's still doing it, then it's probably faulty hardware.
Yeah try a factory reset and see how that does. The rainbow screen looks like a gingerbread rom without the correct bootloaders.

So that's the mysterious rainbow screen I keep reading about. Thanks, because I had no idea what it looked like (thank goodness). The bottom part reminds me of Poltergeist "Don't go into the light..."
Is this new phone they gave you refurbished?
I used to have that problem all the time when i was stock... New ROM and it went bye bye...
Hah that picture you got there reminds me of when i stupidly flashed a gb kernel on froyo... still fixed it and matter of factly I'm using the same device right now were all newbs at some point, don't let it discourage you, just take it as a lesson learned and be more careful next time

I tried it, screwed up my phone. Phone wouldn't boot anymore. No amount of wiping data/cache/dalvik would fix it. Not even flashing a new ROM.
Had to use Heimdall to go back to stock.
I have no idea what happened but I'm not trying that again.
Tried it on VB. Got stuck in bootloop. Had to Odin my phone. Won't try again unless get several confirms that it's OK. Such a hassle.

My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.
I would try this rom here.

For the voodoo sound bit go to settings, then applications, manage applications, find the voodoo app and click it clear data and then uninstall the voodoo sound app. Reboot the phone and reinstall from the play store.

You have to go in settings under tweaks and set the custom app to messenger. It will stop soft booting then.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.

Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.
Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far. As it stands I haven't had a spare second to flash a new kernel on her phone, but she hasn't seemed to have any problems (knock on wood) since that day; I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt her, though. I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!
So I am trying to fix my wife's phone. She keeps getting random reboots. It started on stock. I rooted and flashed a couple of different roms and the problem persists. Thanks to qkster I managed to copy 2 last_kmsg logs from the last 2 reboots. The first one I was listening to Pandora and halfway through the song the phone rebooted. The second one I had just sent a text and turned the screen off. Couple minutes later it wouldn't come back on as if it was completely off.
I tried going to jb over the weekend (phone was screwing up anyway so I figured what the hell) but lost my imei. So went back to stock. Fully wiped everything. Flashed mg's infinitum ics since out of all the roms I've tried that one runs the best. Been on it 3 days now.
In my completely uneducated opinion the reboots are caused by some kind of memory issue.
I'm sure it's hardware related and was just wondering if someone with a larger IQ than me could give me an idea of how to fix it. I'm 7 months away from an upgrade.
I've looked at the battery to make sure the connecters were clean and nothing was broken.
Thanks for whatever help anyone can give.

Looks like it could be a problem with your audio/dac - that would be my take, anyway. That's what all this stuff is about: unable to get clock pcm, wm8994_samsung.c (wm8994_resume,3961) ]. wm8994 is the Wolfson DAC in the Infuse. PCM Out of curiosity, have you tried VoodooSound? I wonder if the anti-jitter setting would make a difference...
I am not an expert - just curious!
I never tried to use voodoo. Never even looked into it. I will look into that though. Thanks.
Edit - I'm running a cm9 base rom. Infinitum. Isn't voodoo automatically on in cm9?

It is an odd problem to have. Normally, people use VS to take advantage of the Wolfson chip. If it works, great! One little thing I might mention - a kind of odd behavior with VS in JB - Even if you don't use the bass boost, VS seem to limit the output volume. All you have to do is click Bass Boost (not enable or anything, just open the menu setting) and the sound gates open. This does not happen if you enable Smart Amplifier btw.
Things seem to be a bit better with voodoo sound. Been on pa jellybean for a couple days now. 1 reboot but I couldn't get a last kmsg.
Thanks for helping me!

These problems can also be related to particular apps. The problem you describe on Oct 8 is pretty common. You might try increasing your dalvik cache size if your phone freezes after using certain intensive apps. To do this, you need to edit your build.prop Look around for suggestions on best settings.
Thanks for the help. I've made my way to jb and using zram. Thought that might help. Will look into dalvik cache. I have tried googling phrases from the kmsg but I don't have the basic understanding i guess. Again I appreciate your time and suggestions

Well, in the last one there's something going on with your touchscreen. Have you ever overclocked this phone? Have you noticed that it gets hot? Honestly, if you were playing a game for an extended period of time, it would get hot anyway. I'm guessing there is/was a heat issue...
I actually went to flash the oc kernel for the cm10 when I got to jb but kept boot looping. So I never got oc running. The last message I posted was the third time in a row the phone rebooted. I was reading the kmsg from the second reboot when it rebooted. Weird.
But no its not getting hot. It kept saying something about the USB probe or something. I figured its something with my charger/USB port.

Sorry, what kept saying something about the USB probe? Internal components also use USB. It's not just the port.
I'm sorry. I must have misread it. It said ta probe. And then calibration. I don't know. I'm pretty sure the phone has a hardware issue and will try to keep it together long enough to upgrade. Though it may be placebo I think voodoo sound does help a little bit.
Thanks again.
